Medical Internships in Victoria

The most pressing issue for Victorian medical students today is the availability of a quality internship place upon graduation.

We have seen the number of medical graduates from Victorian medical schools increase to exceed the number of available internship positions in Victorian health services. MSCV has been working hard to advocate to the State Government and other relevant bodies to ensure that all Victorian medical graduates are able to attain an internship in Victoria upon graduation, if desired.

Health Workforce Australia is an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). It was established to meet the future challenges of providing a health workforce that responds to the needs of the Australian Community.

The Medical Training Review Panel (MTRP) is a Government agency established to look at the demand for and supply of medical training opportunities. The MTRP annual reports are an excellent resource for data on medical student numbers; the most recent is the MET 2020 (5th Edition).
